Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study conducted in Melbourne followed over 2,000 adults for five years. The researchers found that people living within 300 meters of a park or garden reported significantly lower levels of stress and anxiety. Interestingly, the type of green space mattered: community gardens had a stronger positive effect than large, manicured parks. The study also noted that the benefits were more pronounced for younger adults, while older participants showed less change. So, when planning cities, we should prioritize accessible, diverse green areas, not just big lawns.
